These [names and figure] being written, enter[?] into it [the circle] as is marked. And place the sword beneath your knees, saying, turned toward the south, this conjuration: «I conjure you, all demons written in this ring, which you hold[?] in [your] hands, by the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and by the power of God, maker of heaven and earth; and by our Lord Jesus Christ, his Son, who for the salvation[?] of the human race deigned to suffer death; and by the glorious virgin Mary, his mother, and by[?]... and [may it please / and gentle?]...» [the text continues on the following folio].

And likewise you, enter[?] the circles, carrying the sword with you, without destroying the circle. On the sixth day[?], with the aforesaid sword, you shall return and, turned toward the south, you shall say thus: "I conjure you, Obrimeu, Suburith, Triamayrt[?], Iyroth[?], Berien, Damayn, by the one, living, sole and true God, that now, without[?] delay, you must come to me, bringing the conserved ring, so that when I have set it[?] on the finger or in the hand of some living person, she may fall to the ground as if dead; and when I remove it from her, she may return to her former state. And also, placed upon a dead man[?] as has been said, may it enter into him[?], and may he appear alive as he formerly was, in everything." For they can terrify you and wholly constrain you. These things said four times —namely: first toward the south once, and likewise toward the west, then toward the north and toward the east— you will see coming from the east[?] a certain horseman who was then beside the circle; thus he will say[?]… such ones are sent, naming, naming the names[?] written above: "to you this conserved ring…"; …not able to come to you[?], it not being fitting to test[?] the virtue of the ring. And if it did not have the virtue asked of it by you, they will say that, however many they are, they are ready to come to you without the ring; receive it[?], saying to him[?]…

…[giving] thanks to you and to them, this said you will withdraw at once[?]; and you too will go out of the circle[?], destroying it entirely. And keep the said ring well, wrapped in a white cloth. When you truly wish some living person to seem dead and to be held by all for [dead], take care[?]: place this ring on his finger, and he will seem a corpse[?]. And when you remove it, he will return to his first state. And when you wish some corpse to appear animated, place the ring as has been said, so that you tie it to the hand or to the foot, and before an hour it will rise in the form it first had; and with living voice it will speak before all, and in this way it can remain [so] for six days, because any body of his[?] will remain in him[?] [each?] day. And if you wish, before the said term[?], that he be as he first was, remove the ring from him, and in this way he will be able[?] to rise again[?] from the dead[?]. For this experience is most worthy and must be concealed, because in it great virtue exists. The circle[?] written above also has many virtues, of which I will set forth the first three. For if on a Friday you write it with a pen [of vulture?][?] and with its blood, on [skin?][?] parchment, new[?], and touch some person with it, at once[?] you will be[?] loved by her above all. And if the said written circle, as has been said, you place[?] over the head of a sick person, he not knowing it: if he must die[?], [it will say that?] he could in no way escape[?]; and if he must escape [recover], it will say[?] that he entirely…
